Pinpoint Test D : DTCS P0765, P0768, P0769, P0982, P0983: Notes
Refer to Transmission Controls - MPS6 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The PCM applies and releases the various clutches in the transmission by actuating the shift solenoids in the solenoid body. SSD is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS).
NOTE:
Without a voltage signal return to the PCM, the transmission solenoid power control relay is commanded off. Using a fused jumper wire between a transmission solenoid control circuit and the signal return circuit, the transmission solenoid power control relay circuit supplies power to the transmission solenoids when the ignition is cycled from off to on. Do not use a solenoid control circuit that may be at fault, refer to DTC Charts for a fault listing.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P0765 | SSD | Open circuit in the solenoid or wire harness. |
| P0768 | SSD Electrical | Open circuit in the solenoid or wire harness. |
| P0769 | SSD Intermittent | Intermittent circuit in the solenoid or wire harness open, shorted to ground or shorted to power. |
| P0982 | SSD Control Circuit Low | Short to ground in the solenoid or wire harness. |
| P0983 | SSD Control Circuit High | Open circuit or short to power in the solenoid or wire harness. |
